I am experiencing a very frustrating problem. I am using the Couple to Vehicle Front/Behind Signal X command. Some times it works and sometimes I get "Waiting for Access to track beyond Junction X" in the message box.
Background. My scenario is a two part operation.
First - an eastbound train arrives from the West Portal. It stops and sets out some cars and picks up others. It then proceeds to the East Portal.
Second - 10 minutes later, a west bound train arrives from East portal. It stops and sets out some cars and picks up some others.
I created two test scenerios using the same map to perfect the first and second part of this operation. Individually, they work flawlessly. Then I combine them into the same senario. The first part works as tested but when the westbound train arrives and executes the first "Couple to . . ." command, it approaches the switch leading to the track where the cars to be coupled reside, stops and issues the message noted above. It will not proceed, no matter how long I wait. I have change the track configuration, signal locations, changed location of the locomotive where it encounters the command but to no avail.
I am using CPC:Central Portal Control to define the trains and their driver commands and Time Check and a child command of CPC:Emit Train to time the arrival of these trains.
Any suggestions as to what is causing this problem and what will it take to make it work properly?
